Politics › Re: Do Nigeria Have Any Secret Intelligence Agency? by wirinet(m): 1:48pm On Jun 02, 2019

atakamus:
Yeah we have but they lack professionalism. Remember in 2006 when we were in NYSC camp in Bayelsa. I never knew that one of my friend is camp them was an under cover agent registered as a corp member.
He stayed in our Hall, wore corpers clothes and did all corpers were doing. One evening, he had disagreement with a soldier. The soldier slapped him, we were angry at the soldier and tongue lashed him. He told me in confidence that the soldier must apologise. I smiled it off. The next day I saw the same soldier apologising and begging him. I asked him what he did for that to happen, he just smiled and said he reported him to the camp commandant. I was confused. All these things were happening during the high point of militancy in the Nigeria Delta area.
After the camp, we all left. I saw him again in one government occasion in Yenagoa. He was wearing black suit with big automatic gun concealed in his suit. We were all in our NYCS uniform. He was in the midst of DSS guys all dress in black suits and armed. I approached him and he smiled and told me he was undercover in NYSC camp all through our camp period. That was when I remembered the incident of the soldier.

Very poor and unprofessional intelligence officer. In other climes intelligence officers blend with their surroundings that no other person is aware they are intelligent officers except their superiors and colleagues. Here, the camp commandant already, knew, the soldier that slapped him knew and I am sure he would have boasted to others, especially female corpers. What if the camp commandant or the soldier that slapped him was a security threat?

Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen issue is an intelligence failure. DSS and NIA should be able to infiltrate them to pass valuable information on their operations and their sponsors. That's how CIA, FBI, MOSSAD, M16 and KGB works.

You are right. But adding more panels would not help either. So the only other option is to reduce load.

This is why I am a fan of lithium batteries, lead batteries are too cumbersome and inefficient, it's only advantage is its lower cost and relative safety.

A GOOD INSTALLER WILL SIZE YOUR SYSTEM PROPERLY, ADVICE YOU ON ENERGY EFFICIENT ALTERNATIVES TO YOUR HOUSE UTILITIES (FANS,LIGHTS,HEATERS ETC), AND EVEN CHECK UP ON YOU TO KNOW HOW YOUR SYSTEM IS WORKING.

SUGGESTED RESCUE OF YOUR INVERTER SYSTEM RIGHT NOW
-REPLACE ALL THOSE CEILING FANS WITH ENERGY EFFICIENT ONES,
-USE A LOW POWER LAPTOP RATHER THAN A DESKTOP FOR YOUR PC NEEDS,
- MAKE SURE YOUR TV HAS ENERGY EFFICIENT SETTINGS AND ACTIVATE THEM AFTER SUNDOWN. EVEN YOUR INVERTER SHOULD BE CHOSEN CAUTIOUSLY AS EFFICIENCY OF INVERTERS DIFFER GREATLY.

A GOOD INSTALLER WOULD HAVE SAVED YOU A LOT OF THIS STRESS.

LASTLY, DON'T ATTEMPT TO ADD MORE BATTERIES TO YOUR BATTERIES...WASTE OF MONEY AND ENERGY; YOU CAN ADD MORE PV MODULES THOUGH.

The problem is the run time or storage capacity and not power generated. The system shut down at 4:00 am. His total storage capacity is 4nos 200AH batteries which is a total of about 9600wh mind you the system shuts down at about 80% DOD and there is some energy wastage by the batteries themselves and the inverter.

Constitution was written by humans for humans and not given by some god.
The Lagos state house of assembly can pass a bill to that effect and it will be legal.

Curfews are temporary emergency powers during a breakdown of law and order, it doesn't need to be legislated upon.

Why are you arguing blindly when the court has already said it is unconstitutional. The best the Lagos state government can do is appeal up to the supreme Court. Meanwhile, there must be a reason Fashola, a SAN decided not to appeal.

Criminal Threats

Even though the Constitution guarantees the right of free speech, that right is not an absolute one. The law has long recognized specific limitations when it comes to speech, such as prohibitions against slander and libel. In some situations, speech can even constitute a crime, such as in the case of criminal threats. A criminal threat, sometimes known as the terrorist threat, malicious harassment, or by other terms, occurs when someone threatens to kill or physically harm someone else.

Criminal threats are made with the intention to place someone in fear of injury or death. However, it isn't necessary for a victim to actually experience fear or terror. Rather, it's the intention of the person making the threat that matters. The intent of a person who makes threats is usually determined by the circumstances surrounding the case.

Restriction of movement during environmental sanitation ‘unlawful’ – Court

A Federal High Court in Lagos has ruled that the restriction of movement during the monthly environmental sanitation exercise in the state is unlawful and a violation of the citizens’ right to liberty and freedom.
The case was brought against the state by a lawyer, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa.
The trial judge, Mohammed Idris, while delivering judgement on Monday, said the restriction on movement violated Sections 35 and 41 of the Constitution which guaranteed personal liberty and right to movement.

No further debate is required, the courts had declared the monthly exercise unconstitutional, null and void. No law can override the constitutional rights of free movement and association. It's a barbaric law and a vestige of military rule, where Nigerians were treated like stubborn children. No other country in the world force full grown adults to start sweeping streets and gutters.

Environmental laws should be upheld, and the government should hire more sanitary officers and design better waste management plans.

obi4eze:

History always repeats itself. The British and their allies have always been against the progress of Nigeria, using indigenous elements fuelled by greed and avarice to truncate the progress of the oil-rich territory. Truth be told, they have always found willing tools of northern extraction to exert their toxic influence.

This is still happening today with the imposition of a foreign fraud in the name of a president but we are too scared to speak out. They are very aware of it but since it favours them and suppresses the future of the country, they are satisfied.

Who then, will bell the cat?

Where did you see northern extraction in the whole article? This obsession with northerners is very serious, I only thought you guys were only obsessed with Afonja.
The British succeeded because of betrayal by our own people because of the love of material things and greed of our own brothers. It was igbo merchants that captured and sold their brothers to middle men, who in turn sold them as slaves to the Europeans. This same story of the of King koko of brass was replicated all over the Niger delta and even southern Nigeria. Our own Nana of koko also fought the British over these same issues, he was defeated because he was betrayed by his brothers and sent on exile to Ghana. Same with Bini Kingdom.

Quit blaming all your problems on Northern extraction.

Amazing, you even found a way to think this story with Buhari. You need a therapist or a strong pastor.

No one is trying to paint them black they are black as charcoal. They willfirst use treats of violence on opponents and non supporters, and then when violence happens they would deny culpability and say "we are a very peace organization". A few days to their self declared sit at home, their leader issues death threats to people who fail to comply, then when their followers cause violence, they deny culpability.

IPOB has issued death threats to Yorubas, Hausas, promised to bring Buhari's head, threaten security forces and even other igbos, they are quick to scream "we are a peaceful organization ".

Sadly, the mutineers came to our home that night as well and they brutalized and abducted my father, Chief Remilekun Fani-Kayode, the deputy premier of the old Western region. What I witnessed that night was traumatic and devastating for me and my family, and, of course, what the nation witnessed that night was horrific. It was a night of carnage, barbarity and terror. The events of that night set in motion a series of events which changed our history. The consequences of the events of that night are still with us till this day. It was a sad and terrible night: one of blood and slaughter.

2014 Budget: Presidency to spend N2.3bn on travels

ABUJA—The Presidency plans to spend at least N2.3 billion on local and international travels and transportation next year.
The proposal is contained in the 2014 appropriation bill submitted by President Goodluck Jonathan through the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, to the National Assembly last week.

A breakdown of the figure showed that the State House would require the sum of N1, 219, 612, 417 for what it called Local Travels. International travels and transportation will gulp N1, 159, 240, 600 .

Well, we are entitled to our opinions. But you must understand the fact that no amount of premarital sex can strengthen the institution called marriage. Evidences are everywhere, in our generation. More premarital sex will only lead to one thing which is 'more and more premarital sex'.

In the alternative, no amount of pre marital second can weaken the institution called marriage. What weakens marriages are actions and reactions taken post marriage. There is no statistical prove that pre marital sex leads to divorce in marital life and also or virginity is a recipe for happy married life.

One day you will learn to live by the idiom "different strokes for different folks"and there is no one size fits all in any aspect of life.

The most sexist comment I have ever read. So women are not expected to have any expectations of deriving sexual satisfaction from the husband, but guys are expected to. Guys are just expected to satisfy themselves, whether it takes 30 seconds or 30 minutes and don't care whether the woman is satisfied or not.

The Abrahamaic religions is so obsessed with total control of women sexuality and freedom.

Marriage is a social evolution within species that bore very few children to ensure the survival and effective raising of offsprings. Children and their mothers are best protected under the institution of marriage. Without marriage men would not feel the need to provide security and protection for their children and their women. Children that have questionable paternity are abandoned by their fathers. Some animals go to the extremes of killing offsprings of spouses not of their own genes. Such animals are now facing extinction.
A few birds that bore very small number of children also have the "institution of marriage" to protect their offsprings. A good example is the penguin.

Just so you know, the trade war between the two countries is not a US fight alone, the genesis of it was as a result of concerns raised by European countries too especially the US allies in europe, US can cripple China market in europe just like it crippling Iranian oil and gas sales in Europe making Saudi Arabia number one in the gulf, the nuclear deal was a pact reached between US and Iran to stop the production of nuclear weapons which in return the US gives Iran some economic waiver with some funds, you should check the latest statement of former Iran foreign minister of how much they received and how much the got from the Obama admin in suitcases, Iran didn’t keep to her own end of the deal, So the US pulled out of the deal with high sanctions placed on Iran, iran economy is bad as we speak but it won’t televised, the protests and all won’t be shown on tv as well, US can win all war the wall, but when it comes to diplomatic wars and physical battle the US always have the best odds.

I don't know where you get your news from, maybe fox news, but most of it is wrong. First, the nuclear deal was not just between the US and Iran, but between Iran, European allies, US, Russia and China. Only the US unilaterally pulled out. The US is trying to force European countries to pull out, but they have not. Even Britain, US closest European ally did not pull out. The trump administration has been trying to sanction companies doing business with Iran, but European governments have been finding ways to bypass the sanctions.
The money that Obama gave back to Iran was not US money, but monies siezed by the US in the aftermath of the 1979 Iranian revolution.

The US is fighting it alone in its trade war with China. Have you heard any other US traditional ally imposing tariffs on Chinese goods? Yes, European countries had been complaining to the US of intellectual property theft and understanding ethical trade practices by the Chinese government for decades, but when Trump decided to act he did not consult anyone, he just acted alone.

How many wars has the US won alone? Without its traditional allies any foreign war the US embarks on will be too costly and too prolonged.

Politics › Re: In Case You Missed-middle Belt Won’t Follow North If Nigeria Splits –jerry Gana by wirinet(m): 12:21pm On May 29, 2019

naijaseeker:
You are very right. The truth is, there is really nothing very unique about Nigeria still we manage to always get things wrong. However, I have to differ with you.

The unique thing with Nigeria is its people. And I believe that the weak point in the evolution of a modern society is its people. We as a people have not evolved beyond the elevation of personal interest and at most clan interest above bigger ideals of national or wider interests. Personally, I do not believe its the system. Yes the system is bad, and I confess very bad, but the nature of human beings is that the best usually come out of very bad situations. If the people are determined, sincere and focused, no system can put them down.

There was really no need to mention IPOB. Any sincere person will know that IPOB was never nor is, any real issue to the modern Nigeria with real problems. At the worst, they are demanding for a referendum on continued Igbo inclusion in Nigeria. With the reality of divisions in Nigeria currently, this is a very fair demand. Couple this with the reality that the Nigerian government has failed over and over to truly protect its different ethnic groups from the menace of external Fulanis.

That the Fulanis question is a problem with Nigeria is not new, remember a group of middle ranking middle belt soldiers trying to do something about it by planing a coup and attempted to excise Fulani states from Nigeria. The problem I have with IPOB is that their reason for secession is hatred of not just Fulanis, but also of other tribes of which help they would need if they are to succeed. The insults of all other tribes have alienated not just IPOB but even igbos in general, which to me is very sad.
Look, they played straight into the hands of the Fulanis they are supposed to be fighting. If you are a bit discerning, you will see that the core igbos are being successfully isolated not just from other southerners but from other igboid tribes. If you look well, you will see that key appointments go to igboid tribes and not core Igbos. These people are being encouraged to deny their Igboness and IPOB and their supporters are not helping matters. The core igbos should court people like Amaechi, Secondus, Wike, Emiefele, etc, but are they?

The only way we can get things right is, if we develop a really workable system and this needs a serious restructuring. Many countries designed strategic institutions or checks, however we simply fail to do this. One major problem, the Northern/Fulani elites who has being ruling Nigeria. The North try very hard to sell a line that there is simply the elites and the masses, yet they refuse to demand what everyone in the South is demanding. Restructuring. Without sincere sit down discussion and changes, we will not move anywhere. There are serious issues and if I mention just one, it will be obvious how disunited we are.

Some people assume a glorious single destiny for Nigeria. I do not. It does not make sense, one because of Biafra. Biafra is a very thorny divisive issue in Nigeria. Another, indigenous peoples and settlers. People everywhere claim a right to existent and non-existent cultural rights, these has happened the development a united modern Nigeria. Again, a united modern Nigeria should not be assumed to be a desirable Nirvana. It is just one of the options.

However, the need for all Nigerians to unite against a very deadly existential threat should for pragmatic purposes put everything in a back burner. The upheavals in the Sahel is real and Fulani pressure on Nigeria is increasing and getting deadlier everyday. This is compounded because there are indigenous Fulanis in Nigeria and these set are evidently conflicted whether to identify with Nigeria or with their foreign kin.

Apart from the religious and tribal divide, there is a serious class divide in Nigeria. The elites as a class are United in their suppression and oppression of the poor masses. This is visible from the south to the north, from the west to the east. There are very and I say very few voices that speaks for the poor. This is the reason I respect Lamido Sanusi a lot ( who ironically is part of the feudal northern elite). Even though he has his flaws, he seems to be the only one that actually speaks and shoes concerns for the excruciating poverty in the north. You see how the northern elites have gathered to destroy him. I doubt he will survive their onslaught. Others I had admired in the past with similar traits were Tai Solarin, Gani Fawehinmi, Ken Saro wiwa, and a very few others.

Finally, the battle to me should be on the political and intellectual plane, and not on the emotional and threats levels. My role model today is Emmanuel Macron, he was dissatisfied with his party, which was the main party, he resigned, formed his own party, sold his ideas and won the elections against well established parties. That's how to sell ideas.

I like you submission here. You at least is looking dispassionately at the Nigerian problem and proffering a solution devoid of the usual insults, emotional blackmail and blame game, employed by both sides of the divide.

naijaseeker:
It is really funny how this post has degenerated to Biafran war and unnecessary antagonism. We have fought Biafran war and it has ended, but the problem with Nigeria persists.Why? Because we like lies and are self loathing.

The Biafran war has ended but it seems the animosity generated as a result has not ended. The igbos seem still hurt at the death of 3 million people and the alleged betrayal by other southern tribes, especially the Yorubas. The Fulanis are also still angry that the igbos killed most of their military and political leaders while sparing their own, in a bid to take control of Nigeria. The other Southern tribes are angry that the Igbos dragged them into a war, that does not concern them.
So you see there is anger everywhere. And IPOB is using this anger to rev up the emotion of the frustrated youth. If things get out of control and another war breaks out, the genocide on all sides this time will be unrivalled in the annals of human history.

Nigeria is a simple organization, A Britsh till pot operated through the Fulani. How were we rendered so uncoordinated and defenseless. Divide and conquer.

As I said earlier, Nigerian experience is not unique. That how Britain ruled it's colonies. Since, the British were not ready to actually set up colonies in Nigeria like they did in Southern Africa. They looked for a more pliant and controllable tribe to use to carry out their objectives, and the Fulani homogeny fit into their needs. The southern tribes were too rebellious and disunited.

The US also had similar problems, they avoided the booby traps by jettisoning the British imposed constitution and fashioned their own according to their own terms.
